Repeat prescriptions

To order a repeat prescription

  • Use your Patient Access account (on the Patient Access website or in the Patient Access app)
  • use the repeat ordering slip on your previous prescription. Leave it at the surgery or post it to us
  • phone us on 028 437 22252 and select option 2. Leave your details on the telephone voicemail.

Prescriptions requested before midday can be collected after 4pm on the same day. Only order a repeat prescription if you have less than 7 days of medication remaining.

If we have your mobile number, we will send a text to let you know when your prescription is ready to collect.

You can use an online form to give us your mobile number.

We can also post your prescription to you if you provide us with a stamped, addressed envelope.

Medication reviews

We have a duty to review your health and medicines regularly. We will let you know if you need to make an appointment for a medication review with either our practice nurses or your doctor.

If you need urgent advice about your medication outside our surgery hours, please call the GP out of hours service.

NHS prescription charges and exemptions

All prescriptions dispensed in Northern Ireland are free of charge for everyone. This includes medication, wigs and surgical appliances. You do not need to do anything to qualify for free prescriptions as everyone is automatically entitled.
